Hey nice one Taffus, did you see any of the static revving stuff?
Difficult to see, too many people forming a circle around the bikes...
they ought to just have a rope barrier that people can't form a circle around so everybody get's to see.

Still a great day out though, I also got to meet the lead singer of The Damned,
Dave Vanian :D

We were up on the hill in your first video
My youngest son was impressed with the 81 year old guy who wheelied the scrambler most of the way up the hill.

It was great to see a Scott 2 stroke go up the hill and the great smell of castrol r is not to be missed!

Yes I know both riders you mentioned, the Triumph scrambler
rider with the Steve McQueen style Barbour on, such a cool
bloke for his age, (didn't know he was 81 though!!)
And yeah the Scott 2-stroke, what an amazing piece of history
in motion... The old fella on the Moto Guzzi with the red tinted
goggles must have been around
90 - 92 years of age? It's this kind of stuff that keeps those old
boys ticking isn't it. I'd be well proud to have a Grandad like
them :D
